Rough on the Living - Bobby Bare[00:00:00]
I wanna sing this song for a friend of ours[00:00:03]
His picture was in all the papers[00:00:11]
They said that a legend had passed[00:00:16]
The late evening news did a special report[00:00:21]
And swore that his memory would last[00:00:26]
They're playing his records all weekend[00:00:31]
Praising the life that he lived[00:00:36]
Nashville is rough on the living[00:00:40]
But she really speaks well of the dead[00:00:45]
The wife that they interviewed cried[00:00:52]
Is the same one who left him last fall[00:00:57]
And the record producer who called him a hero[00:01:01]
Is the one who wouldn't answer his calls[00:01:06]
The ladies they sit over coffee[00:01:11]
Bragging about sharing his bed[00:01:16]
They didn't want him around when he's living[00:01:21]
But he's sure a good friend when he's dead[00:01:25]
They observed twenty seconds of silence[00:01:33]
At the Opry on Saturday night[00:01:37]
And they're searching the bars and the basements[00:01:42]
For some souvenir of his life[00:01:47]
They're planning a book for September[00:01:52]
Showing his plain country roots[00:01:57]
Any they're selling the rights to the movie[00:02:01]
And the Hall of Fame's getting his boots[00:02:06]
At the funeral somebody recited a poem[00:02:11]
That told how he suffered and bled[00:02:16]
Nashville is rough on the living[00:02:21]
But she really speaks well of the dead[00:02:25]
Yeah Nashville is rough on the living[00:02:30]
But she really speaks well of the dead[00:02:34]
